What? No thank you's?
 

While re-watching the clips from Stranger's Wrath to get inspiration for the next Oddworld Music Video, I happand to notice something with the credits. I always watch them with Oddworld games cuz I find it funny to know exactly which voices Lorne did. Anyhoo, surely most of us saw the Thank You speech at the ending of all the credits for AO, AE and MO. The 'And thank you to all our family and friends, we could not have done this without your love and support' bit. That wasn't there in Strangers Wrath. Just a strange/remarkable/funny thing I happend to notice. Discuss, or let this topic die a painfull death as it is banned to Necrum for displaying a random fact no-one cares about :P.

You know, I actually didn't really notice this when I first played the game. Perhaps they just thought that their friends/family got the message by the time the fourth game was out. :p But seriously, I don't know why it wasn't in there.

The only thing that I really missed from the credits was the team photo with the inhabitants around them. This was the first time that they didn't do this and I was kinda looking forward to it.

Oh yea, that too. Too bad indeed :(.

Hmm....I remember the AE family and friends thing. IT shown that the creaters ot creator(Lorne) of the odd care about everyone....Yet if they did not show it in there....Oh my God Lorne forgot about his family! So sad >_> (Joke by the way.)

Well it's a pretty standard thing on any game credits.

Were there any other thankyous or were they all left out?

Perhaps they just forgot to add them in this time. I don't think we should read anything into it.

I'm not saying we should. Just something I noticed, thats all :P.

And no, no form of thank you at all. Not that I saw anyway.

These credits were certainly more 'professional' and 'movie-like'.
I like them. :)

If you have eye for scripting and movies, you would notice that the entire game was more movie like. Lorne without a doubt already put some of his movie making into Stranger. The way the scenes go, their length. It's all very diffrent from AO, AE and MO. Prolly becouse all of those games were 'told' by the main character and where created with the sole intend of being cutscenes. Stranger is very diffrent when it comes to that. Very movie like :D.

yes I was realy hoping to see all the Inhabitants with coboy hats... :)

I agree about the whole game being movie like. It just could be movie, and all the cutscenes are performed in a much more traditional movie-like way.
This is perhaps because in older games, a lot of the story was told in a single short cut scene, whereas such problems do not exist in Stranger.

What I missed from Oddworld credits were the concept art and of course the group photo under the theme of the game. But ever since Munch when they left the art out of the credits I was disappointed. But its no big deal with me.

Yeah, I always loved the art in the abe credits. I always used to try and work out why they would connect a person to a particular piece of art.

I didn't even notice it on the previous games. When you say speech, do you mean video?

maybe it is just his way of expressing how different this game is from the others
